DTSoft provides a way to get data to and from the outside world. For the decoder side, it can even replace a piece of hardware (the framesync/decom). Likewise with the encoder side. The use of the gateway products coupled with the power of the DTSoft software, gives you a quite reasonably priced (relatively speaking), method to play with data, as well as a more universal method. Even the cabling is cheaper.

DTSoft will explore TMoIP, telemetry over IP. Instead of just another trend it heralds the future for the industry. Like everything else, telemetry data transport is going to the network and computers, once it gets out of the air (or before it gets into the air, as the case may be). Very akin to VOIP (voice over IP that many phones are now, teleconferencing systems, etc.).

Some gateways can take the network data and reproduce the clock and data (e.g. IPtec TNP-100). This lends itself to another product from DtSoft, the TDynaSim. This is a full software PCM encoder, capable of creating async embedded streams, as well as the generation of PRN patterns. This would give you the complete package from the encoder side of things through the decoder side of the house. RF included if so desired.

The results is that you have the ability to take the data directly from whatever source that created the clock/data and get it into a form you can use in the PC. For instance:

RF Receiver – For range receiver types (e.g. Quasonix Gen 2, Lumistar Ls-35, Semco), take the data right from the clock/data outputs to put into the gateway. Now you’ve just eliminated the need for a framesync/decom card.

Data recorder that doesn’t put out network packets, but does put out clock/data.

This way one is able to go to a test range, in the peanut gallery, taking just your laptop and a gateway, and being able to plug into the range complex’s clock/data line and process/view the data as you see fit. (Many ranges provide a clock/data source in the viewing gallery).

Take your laptop on-board a vehicle under test, in flight, tie into the PCM encoder, and monitor/analyze the data in real time. Take your laptop and a reverse gateway and play back a flight test recording, into a system you’ll be running a live flight on later, or perform a BERT or CRC check on that system prior to the expensive flight test itself.

This article is about the EB-5 program used by entrepreneurs to bring in millions of dollars into US projects. My hope is that this will stimulate marketing ideas for those with smaller projects.

A littleknown immigration program is helping entrepreneurs get their businesses off the ground or highly expanded.It’s called EB-5. The program is supposed to expire in September2009 and there are senators pushing to get this renewed.Here is how the program works: The program grants temporary visas to foreigners who invest at least $500,000 in distressed areas. If an investment creates at least 10 jobs for American workers, the temporary visa can become a permanent green card. Last year, 945 EB-5 immigrants invested more than $400 million in U.S. ventures.

Some people think this is how people are buying their way to the front of the immigration line. Others feel the big benefit and helping struggling entrepreneurs with capital. Distressed areas that win "regional center" status from the U.S. government can market local ventures to overseas investors who become equity partners. Today there are 46 regional centers scattered across the country, offering investments in everything from Napa Valley vineyards to ethanol plants.

Even Aloft Hotel was able to get in on this cash infusion. There are 10,000 of these visas each year.3,000 of them are set aside for 3,000 are set aside for those who apply under a pilot program involving a USCIS-designated "Regional Center." A Regional Center is an entity, organization or agency that has been approved as such by the Service, it focuses on a specific geographical area within the United States andseeks to promote economic growth through increased export sales, improved regional productivity, creation of new jobs, and increased domestic capital investment.

An alien investor can qualify for the program if they can demonstrate that a "qualified investment" is being made in a new commercial enterprise located within an approved Regional Center and show, using reasonable methodologies, that 10 or more jobs are actually created either directly or indirectly by the new commercial enterprise through revenues generated from increased exports, improved regional productivity, or job creation by using this pilot program. They have to invest at least $1 million dollars or $500,000 if the targeted area has experienced at least 150 times the national average of unemployment.

Vermont has been very successful in marketing this. They have welcomed 35 investors and created jobs for 350 people in Vermont. 17.5 Million dollars was brought in. They have 100% success and claim the most successful EB5 program. With this program, in 5 years an investor could be a citizen of the United States.

They also give the investors other perks. Vermont’s Jay’s Peak Program offers 2 weeks at the resort, children attending college and schools at resident rates and no day to day business management.

The main idea here what incentives can we add to what we offer to bring in investors or bring in more business? Share yours below!
